Asthma in Cage Birds.

Canaries are often troubled with a
Wheeling in the chest, which, from its
resemblance to what is known as asthma
in human beings,is given the same name.
1t is not, however, asthma, but an affec-
ton of the lungs. The cause is not far
to seek. Canaries can bear great ex-
tremes of heat and cold, delicately
framed though they be; but they cannot
stand sudden transitions from one to the
other. When they are kept in room
where the temperature is very variable,
perhaps close to draughty window dnr-
ing the day, with hot, vitiated atmos-
phere from burning gas in the evening,
and later on the other extreme of cold,
we must not wonder if the lungs are af-
fccted. 1t is therefore important that
care should be taken to prevent such q
state of things, and this is best done by
hanging the cage below the middle bar
of the window, or, what is better, stand
ing it on table some distance away, and
then, when the gas is lit, the cage can
be covered over and put on the floor IN
one corner of the room, as the tempera-
ture will be much more equal there than
higher up. If such a plan be adopted,
the so-callcd asthma will be prevented;
but if it is found, little tincture of
aconite is the best remedy, say a drop to
teaspoonful of water divided into two
doses. -iScicntifc American.
